A. further object is otherwise attached, as at 15, male coupling to provide simple fastening means on the elements 16 on one member and female coudevice for the rolled curl. pling elements 17 on the other member. 95 The invention possesses other advantage- These elements are so positioned that when ous features, some of which, with the forethe member 8 is folded on the member 7, going, will be set forth at length in the the respective elementswill snap or couple following description where I shall outline together. The couplings may be Celluloid in full that form of the invention which I or any suitable material, or any suitable 10o have selected for illustration in the drawsnap fasteners may `be employed. I have ings accompanying and forming part of the selected fasteners as shown, because ofthe present specification. In said drawings I considerable area of binding surface which have shown one form of my invention, but this type of fastener presents. The tab 18 it is to be understood that I do not limit at one end of the coupling edge issimply 105 myself to such form, since the invention, as for convenience-of manipulation in operatexpressed in the claims, may be embodied ing the curler. in a plurality of forms. n In practice, one places the member 7 Referring to said drawings: under the chosen amount of hair 19 desired Figure 1 is an expanded plan of the hair curled, with the tip ends thereof preferably 110 Y curler per se. arranged just inside from the upper edge Fig. 2 shows the rst step in the appliof the tape 12, then fold the member 8 over 2 neeeroea aieniber T and :snap together along the upper eonpling edge. between the elements ot the anap .fasteners a entlieient number of Strands oit' hair will be engaged to support the eurler to the hair. lith the, hair thas engaged and the eurler thus supported, the hande` are 'tree to easily roll a tight and full enrl, or just as much oit a roll or tina] earl as one desires, and at this point each extension 13 drawn over its end ot the roll and hooked into the body ot the sott roll, the elastio t'nnetlitniing to react and 'form a secure bold. Any ehoeen i'iumber ot eurlers may be need to the head olf hair and placed where desired.
